      Traditionally, to be “locked in” on something would mean to be locked in on your target, goal, etc.

      Telling someone to lock in or “lock it in” is kind of like a nice way of saying “get your shit together” or “focus up”. I hear it in sports/ gaming lingo.

        So it’s something like ‘man up’. Ok, I can understand that.

    After all the stories about how male authors can’t do realistic female characters, someone reversed it and asked how could you instantly tell if it was a woman describing a man.

    The book ‘The Outsiders’ is about a bunch of tough guys who spend a lot of time talking about their feelings.

    I think the middleground between toxic masculinity and overly emotion dumping femcels is a great target.
